Thin, custom-crafted porcelain shells that change the color and shape of your front teeth and improve the appearance of some minor alignment concerns — often in just two to three visits.
A veneer is a thin porcelain restoration bonded to the front of a tooth. Veneers may address selected concerns with tooth color, shape, chips, or small gaps. The number and design depend on your goals and the condition of your teeth. Treatment commonly requires irreversible enamel preparation, so we discuss alternatives first.
Photos, a digital scan, and a conversation about what you want. A trial mock-up may help you discuss proposed changes and their limits before deciding on treatment.
We prepare the teeth for the planned veneers, take a final scan, and place temporary restorations when needed. We explain the preparation and temporary-care instructions in advance.
A dental lab makes your veneers to the prescribed shape and shade. We discuss the proposed appearance and material before treatment.
We verify fit and shade together in the mirror, then bond your veneers permanently. You leave with your new smile that day.
Good candidates have healthy teeth and gums and enough enamel for bonding. Heavy grinders may need a protective nightguard (or a stronger material). If whitening or clear aligners could get you the result more conservatively, we'll say so — veneers should be chosen, never sold.
Typically 10–15 years, often longer. The porcelain itself doesn't decay — but the tooth underneath still can, so brushing, flossing, and regular checkups protect your investment. Veneers may need replacement over time. We’ll check both the veneer and the underlying tooth before recommending the next step.
We use local anesthetic when needed and check your comfort throughout treatment. Tell us about discomfort so we can pause and adjust. Temporary sensitivity can occur afterward; contact us if it persists or worsens. Sedation options are available for anxious patients.
